If anything, the ones we just told you to go out and buy will be even more on the nose next season. Check out how Ovadia & Sons (left) and Todd Snyder (right) balance out a bold color with a charcoal turtleneck or dark shirt and tie. While Lacoste's look (center) may be more suited for Kanye West than an office job, consider this photo the range from "office-appropriate" to "runway only."

The most effective fall-winter shoes that actually look cool? Hiking-inspired footwear. Whether it's a North Face collaboration with Michael Bastian (left) or a high-end Common Projects x Robert Geller version (center), the hiking hybrid is the silhouette that amateur alpinists and sneaker freakers can both agree on. Looking for something a little more elevated? Opt for a sleek black pair of Timberland hiking boots, as seen at Richard Chai (right).

New propositions of proportions across the board have us rethinking what’s too long, what’s too short, and what can be worn together. On the extreme end, Siki Im (left) mis long sweaters and coats with wide-legged trousers, while Mark McNairy (right) offers up cropped high-waisted pants with coordinating long jackets. GANT Rugger (center), on the other hand, posits that denim aprons, sport coats, and big parkas can be worn together—only while gardening, of course.

Each season there's a tried-and-true piece that really catches the eye of certain designers and gets reinterpreted for modernity's sake. For Fall-Winter 2014, that item is the N3B snorkel jacket. The standard issue outerwear's been upgraded in lu, technical materials by Todd Snyder, while Frank Muytjens of J. Crew slims the fit so it'll look good over a slim jean jacket or suit, while keeping the olive drab tones intact.

Japanese brands and designers have gained newfound relevance in menswear thanks to names like Junya Watanabe and Hiroki Nakmura of Visvim, but New York City designers have taken note, and brought that influence out in numerous ways. Marc By Marc Jacobs's logoed-out collection showed old-school samurai graphics, while Michael Bastian offered up a satin jacket adorned with badass dragons. On the more subtle end, J. Crew showed scarves with intricate indigo graphics and block print-inspired graphics on shirts and sweaters.

The fur trend we saw in Europe is out in full force in NYC (where we needed it because it was effing freezing). At Carlos Campos (left), black fur collars complemented navy topcoats, while Mark McNairy (center), showed this Tenenbaum-inspired rig as well as a camo fur coat (because it wouldn't be McNairy if there wasn't any camo). The real show stealer of the season was Billy Reid (right), who not only offered furry technicolor dreamcoats that'd make Joseph drool, but even a hairy take on the nautical peacoat.

The most elegant, rakish, and laziest way to upgrade your shoe game for fall? Get a pair of Chelsea boots. The English-inspired footwear made appearances on the runway at Robert Geller and Todd Snyder, smartening up the most casual looks while adding a touch of rock-and-roll to the nattiest suits.

Sportswear is being given a designer spin, and no one does the American styles better than our own designers. Carlos Campos (left) builds on the basic varsity jacket silhouette by elongating the proportions, while Patrik Ervell (center) takes outdoor gear to a more elevated level. Meanwhile, brands like J. Crew and Steven Alan (right) continue to take sweatpants and sweatshirts out of the gym and into the streets.

Wearable tech hit the runway, but not how you'd expect. No, we're not talking about Google Glass or iPad-sized pockets in a sport coat, but rather technical fabrics done up in new ways. Whether it's Patrik Ervell's reinvention of fleece jackets to Todd Snyder's super practical parka, we're calling a technical on next season's hottest outerwear.

There’s no place like New York City, especially during Fashion Week, and if you want proof, just check out Menswear Dog at Todd Snyder, Cam’ron and JuJu closing down McNairy, an all-star vogue crew blazing the Hood By Air stage, and the omnipresence of Joe Jonas. The weird, exciting, and invigorating mix of people, from those celebrities big and small to the cross-matrix mix of Uptowners and Downtowners, is what keeps this fashion capital humming at a frequency all its own.

5. The Far East Is Far Out

10. For a City That Never Sleeps, NYC Sure Has a Lot of Energy
